Storen Financial Partners with Dynasty to Expand Capabilities

Meanwhile, Storen Financial, an Indiana-based firm with approximately $500 million in client assets, has entered into a strategic partnership with Dynasty Financial Partners.

Storen has operated for more than 50 years and serves over 5,000 clients across wealth management, tax and business advisory services and says that the partnership is intended to streamline operations and broaden investment access. The firm includes over 40 staff members, among them CPAs, EAs and four equity partners.

“This partnership will enable us to tap into Dynasty’s technology and operational infrastructure,” said Greg Storen, the firm’s managing partner and CEO.

Dynasty Chief Growth Officer Tim Oden said the firm sees Storen Financial as well positioned for continued expansion.

The agreement gives Storen access to Dynasty’s investment platform, technology suite and capital markets capabilities, while allowing the firm to maintain its independent structure.
